This is my favourite program for reading mangas, it's fast and do its job right. My only disappointment is to not being able to show the actual page/number pages at the bottom with a little overlapping box. Also it would be great if the status bar would show up when you open the menu (or tap on the top) when you have the status bar desactivated in the options.

As you know, the pb can't handle the metadatas and display the cover of the cbz files. That's why I digged a bit by experimenting with my pb 840 and found a way to do it. In /system/cover_chache (yes I didn't mispelled it) are stored the covers for the explorer with the storage id, the path to the file, then the filename.ext.png. So you can create a cover and the explorer will show it (I tested). There is also a cache folder of covers for the startup page of the ereader in /system/cache/desktop but I couldn't make it read my cover unfortunately. For the metadatas part, I found the file /system/explorer-2/explorer-2.db which is a database in sqlite that store the informations the explorer uses (author, title, serie, path, id storage, tags, etc...). So I was thinking of making a batch file that would automatically update that database with the metadatas included in the archives and put a cover for them.

I was wondering if it was possible to exclude an image from being viewed by pbimageviewer by putting it in a certain folder in the archive (currently it seems to read images in all folders) or by putting a tag indicating the file is a cover in a xml file without having to rename the image to another extension. Also it would be nice if it could read the summary from an xml file (if it doesn't already).
